Follow me to Alshain toward a fiery grave We have spun a web of worlds, spinning out of control
I crossed the other side But I was brought back The air sucked from my lungs My hull was cracked The dust sifted in Like an hourglass It sealed my ship And I was in tact
Hourglass between worlds Emptiness on the side that employs The upper hand Recharging the void Each half of the cosmic breath Moved by a void With our lungs at capacity Recharging the void
Follow me to Alshain toward a fiery grave We have spun a web of worlds, spinning out of control
We’ve lived beyond our years And now we hear our calling We’ve outlived our pillars falling, falling I must return to Alshain To release our clutch Terminal redux
Like our star at its end Time will warp in the space we bend As we burst to our stellar tomb Its planets will be consumed
Hourglass between worlds Emptiness on the side that employs The upper hand Recharging the void Each half of the cosmic breath Moved by a void With our lungs at capacity Recharging the void All the things we’ve destroyed But there is one thing left: bring balance through our death The Cygnus tide can be restored To a cosmic state Before man perverted it Before we staked our claim Ultimate sacrifice To revive the flux Turning back, a shrinking world Too small for us (x2)
Illuminate what remains From a time when all sanctions were hallowed And our freedoms sucked straight from our marrow To bleed after refrain All we knew was the suffering Away, all of the shame and the sorrow Only hoping for endless tomorrows We look to cold, shimmering skies Feel the light passing by There’s no light that reflects from our gallows Planets stricken to live in the shadows Of cold, shimmering skies All we ask is our story be told To young, beckoning, yearning worlds Who are struggling to be as one We are the light from a dying sun In darkness we will remain
Feel the light piercing your eyes Open the skies to the Cygnus tide
Countdown to the end The Terminal descends Into Alshain’s cloud To be kept under shroud Rulers of life We’ve seen the limits of our minds Our foresight is blinded by our bias To which we cannot hide
Cygnus is calling (Sung in unison) Bound to our graves The pillars are falling (x6)… In stellar remains (x6)
Cygnus is calling From beyond the grave It rises once again With balance staved we make amends A ruler without plots or schemes Of cosmic law, we could only dream
I heed the Cygnus call A symbol for life and death’s resolve Our fate implodes upon our crux The Terminal is set to self-destruct
Relic Alshain Oh Shahin-i-tarazu I return my flesh to you
